CHAPTER VII.

Who that was ever boy has forgot
ten, or will fol,ret, his first fishing ex-
pcrience? No matter whether it was
angling for minnows from the wharf,
with pin-hook, catching pumpkin
seeds from the mill-pond logs or fol-
lowing up an alder-fringcd brock in
pursuit of trout-he will he sure to re-
member it 4 great deal longer thas he
Will the more important episodes of his
later lie. And know one in particular
who will always remember his boyish
deJut in the fishing line-I mean Tad
ThOrne.
1t was the Saturday morning follow
ing TAD peculiar introduction to Miss
Smith, and an unusually mild day for
New England April, which uncertain
month is very apt to seem so much like
March as to resemble a younger
brother.
Joe and Tad were digging bait in
Deacon Whitney's barn-yard; that is,
Joe did the digging while Tad placed
the angle-worms in q round tin must.

"Therer' said Joe, Strengthening up

ment; but the conclusion of Joe's sen.
tence was evidently not addressed to
himself.
1t was churning-day at Deacon Whit.
ney's, and Joe's eyes were fixed On the
retreating forni of Miss Smiths hired
help who had come over to bespeak
some buttermilk for Miss Smiths pig
Samantha Mason was given to gossip
and Joe's guilty conscience at once
assured him that she had lost no time
in telling the story of his late humorou:
performance to the deacon, Mrs. Whit
ney and his sister Nell.
Il guess we'd better be off," re-
marked Joe, rather hastily; land, in.
stead of going out the front way, well
take a short cut down through the
fields. You've got your lines all
right?"
Tad tapped his pocket significantly,
and adjusted the tin-box cover while
Joe was putting the shovel back in the
barn.
"Come on, then, Tad," said his com
panion, with an uneasy glance at the
back kitchen, which Tad did not quite
understand, and with his words Joe
lodged hastily behind the barn, fol
lowed by Tad; but, alas! he was toe
late!
From the open kitchcn-window came
the cry, in his sister Nell's voice:
'Jo-seph!-come right into the house
father wants your
'.Darn it allr' muttered Joe, with q
vindictivc kick at the fence-rail; now
I've got to catch it,"
"Catch what?" wonderingly asked
Tad, though with IN intuitive suspicion
that Joe was not referring to the pros.
pective catch of trout.
Joe did not reply. but with q gloomy
and vengeful expression, skunk into the
barn by the small rear door, followed
by his wondering companion. From
behind the corn-crib Joe hastily pulled
the bottom If an old paste5oard band

EOUAL TO THE SITUATION

EQUAL TO THE SITUATION.
for the broken fragment, which was
floating in sight. Gathering the slack
line carefully in his hands, a vigorous
tug landed high and dry the largest
trout ever caught in Mill brook.
"Therer,' Joe exclaimed. rs Tad re-
garded his prize in an ainaz6ment too
deep for words. "you've caught the one
real trout you've wanted to-now,
guess we'd better be getting home.
without doing any more fishing"
"All right" returned Tad, mourn
fully, "but you caught him, after all.
joe" But Joe stoutly asserted that
Tad hooked him first, while hc-Joe-
only helped to bring the big fish safe to
land. And, in the discussion Of the ex-
citing episode, the walk home was &C
complisbed in a surprisingly short time.
Tad's big trout was baked for sup
per, and it was generally agreed by the
four who partook thereof that the fiav or
was particularly fine. Tad himself Sc
cretly thought he had never eaten any
thing SO delicious in his whole life.
But it is not unlikely that the knowl-
edge that he himself had furnished this
important adjunct to the evening meal
gave it an additional relish for Tad.
BY this time Tad had begun to feel
very much at ease with these quiet,
home-like people. As they gathered
about the open Fireplace, with its
smoldering backlog, after the tea
things were cleared away, and the big
kerosene-lamp was lighted, he opened
his heart to their kindly questioning
and spoke freely of his past life. There
was really little or nothing to keep
back, for, as have said, thanks to the
memory of his mothers teachings and
natural uprightness Of character, Tad
had escaped the evil ways which a
homeless, friendless boy is so apt to fall
into, and, though he had faults in
abundance, he was, on the whole, a
more upright young fellow than many
whose surroundings and advantages
had been far more favorable than
Tad's.
$50 you're to begin ships duties to
Miss Smith O. Monday-eh, TadP" re-
marked the Captain, thoughtfully, to
break little silence which had fallen
upon the group.
Yes, SIR" was the reply, land 1
do hope she'll like me-"
"She'll be hard to suit if she don't"
returned Mrs. Flagg. clicking her nee
dies emphatically together as they
flashed in and out of the meshes of a
blue yarn sock that she was knitting
for the Captain. For the good LADY,
whose heart was large enough to take
in at least half dozen motherless BOYS
and girls, had begun to regard Tad
with considerable favor.
Il know she'll like you," said Polly.
confidently. as she looked up from the
fascinating pages of Little Women"
which she was reading for the first time,
while Bounce slumbered peacefully in
her lap.
"You just go on and do your duty
unto Miss Smith accordin' as you'd
have it done to you, Tad," remarked
the Captain, oracularly, "and you
needn't have no fears. Bliss fmi.h,"

PREPARING FOR THE INTERVIEW.
"Shove it up under my coat, behind
quick, Tad"' he exclaimed, in an ag-
itated whisper, land then you 90 ahead

with this" added Joe, with a rather
sickly smile, as he touched the small OF
his back significantly. "only I've got
to get new piece Of pasteboard-this
is pretty nigh worn OUT
care you coming, Joseph?'
The voice was Deacon Whitncy's.
and sounded from the wood-shed close
by. Tad fled ignominiously through
the rear barn door, while Joe reluct.
antly obeyed the direful summons. Not
that Deacon Whitney was unreason.
ably harsh or stern. Indeed, his wife
said: "Joe's thrashin's hurt the deacon
q dretful sight more'n they did Joe."-
which was doubtless true. The boy
knew that his father loved him sim
cerely, and that the whippings were
not given in anger, but from sense OF
duty, and, though he would willingly
have dispensed with them, Joe never
cherished the slightest feelings of anger
or resentment, after the first smart had
passed away.
Leaving Joe to his impending fate.
Tad climbed the barn-yard fence, and
with jubilant feeling of gladness,
which was only Swallowed by the &C.
casional thought of his new friends
disappointment, made his way down
across the deacon's meadows, to the
brook.
Tad knew nothing whatever about
trout-fishing, as matter of course
he nad caught founders and cunners
from the piers, like most city boys
but only those. However, he had q
general idea of some of the require
ments for tho piscatorial art. So, with
a very light heart. he followed the
mill brook" as it was called, through
a field and an adjoining pasture, till he
came to an alder swamp. where, hav-
ing cut pole, Tad sat himself down to
shape and trim it.
Well, it was indeed a lovely morn
Ing. The sky above him, fecked with
drifting white clouds, was of the deep
est blue, the air soft and spring-like,
and the peaceful stiffness unbroken
only by the occasional cawing of crows
er scream Of blueiay.
Tad sat drinking in the beauty of the
